POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics has announced the full commercial availability of its complete Microthane® portfolio, which now offers surgeons the option to select between two distinct gel technologies — the standard EasyFit™ Gel and the lightweight B-Lite® gel — within the same advanced implant surface platform. This development follows the necessary regulatory confirmation from the company's Notified Body and represents a continued phased market introduction.
The Microthane® surface itself is distinguished by an updated manufacturing process that results in a flat posterior surface and a smooth edge transition. These features are designed to promote tissue adherence and implant stability, which are critical factors in both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgeries.
POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics' announcement means that the full range of these silicone implant options is accessible to medical professionals across the more than 90 countries where the brand operates.
